What King Rat Is About
After Singapore fell in 1942, thousands of Allied soldiers were shut in Changi camp. Corporal King, an American, has built the camp's black market and made himself a bearable life; in a place where rank has stopped meaning anything, the real power is his. An upper class British officer is fascinated by him while another man is sustained by hating him. We barely see the Japanese; the film is not about captivity but about what captivity turns people into. James Clavell, who wrote the novel, had been a prisoner at Changi himself.
